Proposed Developments

Below you will find to very important pieces of legislation that either has been passed (but we can still object, or still needs to be passed. The more informed we are, the more we can participate. 
Land Use Scheme
Draft Nodal Review
There are many developments planned for Glen Austin and it is important that the residents get involved.
Development is going to happen, we cannot stop it. If we object to everything, people will not take our objections serious.
Empty land is also undesirable as it can attract squatters and criminal elements. 
So we suggest that you include in your suggestions / objections how this development:
  • Endangers sensitive areas e.g. wetlands.
  • Endangers the people in the community e.g. trucking business in a residential area.
  • How it is in violation with the Municipal Bylaws.  
Maybe you can make suggestions (in your objections) what changes need to be made to make the proposal acceptable.
Let us work with the developers, so that we get the development and keep our lovely area green. 

Important
It important that each person writes their own objections. When you cut and paste our suggestions, they will not look at our objections.
We will give suggestions on what you can write, but please change the wording.

How to get involved
if you see a notice in your area of a proposed development and you want to object, then download the word document below and follow the instructions. We will then place the objection on the website and people can object online. 
The objections will be sent to the relevant email addresses and to the person who has raised the objections, so that he or she will know exactly how many people are objecting.
